ROME Jul 5, 2006 (AP)— Prosecutors said Wednesday they had arrested two Italian intelligence officers and were seeking four more Americans as part of an investigation into the alleged CIA kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric in Milan in 2003.
The arrest of the two SISMI intelligence officials was the first official acknowledgment that Italian agents were involved in a case that the government has complained was a violation of its sovereignty.
In a statement released in Milan, prosecutors said three Americans being sought were CIA agents, while the fourth worked at the joint U.S.-Italian air base of Aviano, where the Egyptian was allegedly taken after his abduction.

Prosecutors say Nasr was taken by the CIA to a joint U.S.-Italian air base, flown to Germany and then to Egypt, where he says he was tortured.
The operation was believed part of a CIA program known as "extraordinary rendition" in which terrorism suspects are transferred to third countries.
"extraordinary rendition" !! They have a name for everything illegal!

I don't give a crap, if this guy knows where Bin Laden is, I'll torture him myself, and screw the law. The Constitution isn't a suicide pact. If I have to break it to save it, so be it.
